A flower of the Republic of China

Chapter 1

1,

Guangxu 31 years, early spring March.

A warm spring breeze blew in Haizhou city, blowing away the peach and pear trees on both sides of the street overnight, and thousands of pink and white flowers bloomed, swaying and floating in the wind.The scent of flowers mixed with the smell of salty seawater penetrated into everyone's nostrils, making their hearts itch.It says in the book that spring returns to the earth and everything revives, which seems to mean that at present, the peaceful life that has been suffocated by ice all winter is boring, and it is necessary to find some new and lively things to come out.A living person should breathe, and a living person should have something to do.

The Qing Dynasty has been doing well in recent years. The Eight-Power Allied Forces are in chaos. The emperor and the queen mother continue to sit in the Dragon Court. On the surface, they are still the same old ways of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and they want to reform and improve. .Unless you want foreigners to keep looking down on you.They are not confused and know that they have been angry all these years just because of a poor word. It can be said that it was the fault of the ancestors who emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.Anyway, they are right, and there are ways to change if they want to change. The reformists have already presented their papers, encouraging the accumulation of private capital. In four words, the people are rich and the country is strong.It seems to be putting the cart before the horse, and there is no other way.Just like a seriously ill person, he has to try any folk remedies.

There was movement in the imperial court, and the decree came down all the way. When I came to the common people, I felt that the atmosphere had become more civilized. The common people are always straightforward, especially those merchants, and began to plan how to take advantage of the wind to expand their own business.When the time comes, it is always right to earn more money.

Of course, the Shen family, known as the No. 150 family in Haizhou, will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The head of the family, Shen Yunpei, is busy these days with the establishment of the Haigan farming and animal husbandry company. It has been more than half a year since the booklet was handed in. A few days ago, the imperial court finally issued an edict. With the grace of the Queen Mother, it approved the reclamation of Jixin Beach at Linhongkou and Yanwei Beach at Guanhekou. Kilometers to Rizhao County, Shandong Province, and about [-] kilometers from the state to the south to Huai'an and Funing in the east, with a total area of ​​tens of thousands of hectares, which is even larger than the scale of Tonghai Reclamation and Animal Husbandry Company in Zhangjian, Nantong.Now there is only one location for the general account room, and it can be opened for business.

Shen Yunpei got up before dawn, and wrote a letter of thanks to the court in the study, while waiting for the auspicious time - today is the day when his eldest son, Shen Xiaoru, married the eldest daughter of the salt merchant Wen family, Wen Qingyun.The inside and outside are ready, the cover is embroidered with red lights, just waiting for the sedan chair to enter the door.

The west courtyard where Shen Xiaoru lived was crowded with people as soon as it was light. Mrs. Shen took Xiaoru's two younger brothers, Xiaoduan and Xiaofang, to make a final inspection to see if there were any omissions or negligence.Dongmei, Mrs. Shen's close-knit maid, commanded a few young maids and mothers to clean up the already shiny and brand-new household items in the new house, so that everything could be seen clearly.

Yang Jing'an, the chief steward of Shen's residence, came out of the small study in the west courtyard, also dressed in newly made satin clothes - the eldest and young master got married, and the servants all made new clothes. Don't be sloppy - straight and upright, wearing a pair of black velvet boots on his feet, his small eyes are slit into a smile, he came early to congratulate the young master, "We have been together for a hundred years, we will grow old together, and have a precious son early!"

Dongmei was overjoyed, "Butler Yang, you look like a bridegroom with your outfit! Are you impatient? When will you bring us a housekeeper's wife and let us have your old man's wedding wine!"

Yang Jing'an pretended to be angry, and there was a smile in his voice, "Little girl, watch me tear your mouth apart! I think you want to find your in-law's house, right? Girls are not allowed to stay, hurry up and I will go back with your wife for you. You find a boy to be married to."

Dongmei blushed and turned around, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm so shameless."

Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile. It was not too much for them to make such a fuss on the day of great joy, and they didn't bother to worry about it. They just grabbed Yang Jing'an and asked, "Housekeeper Yang, the dowry brought by the bride yesterday was moved to the wing room in the courtyard." , they will live a happy life in the future, it will be convenient for them.”

Yang Jing'an nodded, "Go back to madam, it's done. Last night I asked someone to bring all the things over. If you say that our young mistress who has never been married is quite knowledgeable, there are more than a dozen nanmu boxes, full of things. They are full of books, not less than the ones in the master's study. How else can you say that he is 'known for his talent'! Young master, you have found a good wife. I will accompany you to study and read, sing and write with you, and go to Beijing to take the exam Champion!"

Without raising his head, Shen Xiaoru said in a muffled voice for a long time, "Women are virtuous without talent. Is it useful to read such a book?"

Yang Jing'an touched his nose neither softly nor hard, but he didn't take it seriously, and still smiled and said: "Madam, young master, there is nothing to do here, I went to the front to say hello, there must be a lot of people here today, I'm afraid the front I have to watch those little laziness."

Mrs. Shen nodded. She is about 40 years old, her face is flat without a trace of wrinkles, her forehead is broad, and her eyebrows are raised, showing a sharp look, so people are usually more afraid of her than Master Shen.After listening to Yang Jing'an's words, Mrs. Shen smiled noncommittally, thinking that the Wen family had fallen to the bottom, and couldn't even afford a decent dowry!

Mrs. Shen does not like this marriage from the bottom of her heart. There are three reasons. First, Wen's family is in decline. Second, Wen Qingyun lost her mother since she was a child. , thirdly, and most importantly, she is destined to lead Lone Star, Kefuke House!Add these three together, which one would dare to marry?If you want to say that the third lady of Du Wenjing's family, who is also one of the five big families in Haizhou, is more suitable for her, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family must be Miss Du San, who is good-looking and good-natured, even though her mother is dead. Early, I grew up beside my aunt, but the knitters can afford everything, the most important thing is good horoscope and good fortune.Three months ago, she made up her mind to hire Miss Du San back, and without telling Shen Yunpei in the capital, she went to Du's house to make the decision in person.Du Wenjing was also happy, it was his honor to be in-laws with the Shen family.The two of them had a good discussion at the moment, and they waited for the auspicious day to hold a wedding.Mrs. Shen used a strategy of deceiving the world, because Shen Yunpei had said earlier that the capital was busy, and she might not be able to get back until the day before the wedding.Even if he is not happy at that time, there is no way to change it.But who would have thought that he would return to Haizhou a month earlier, and the matter would be revealed. Shen Yunpei, who rarely gets angry with his wife, showed Mrs. Shen what the power of thunder is.He kept saying that the marriage that had been arranged early should not be broken by others, that the Shen family established the family with the word "trust", and the marriage with the Wen family was arranged ten years ago. Even if the Wen family fell, he would not He broke his promise and let the people of Haizhou City poke his back.He also said that the older she got, the more confused she became, and how vicious her intentions were to put the Shen family in a place of unbelief and unrighteousness.Forced her to go to Du's house to get back the name card, and slapped herself to withdraw the engagement.Du Wenjing got angry at the time, and sneered and said a lot of nasty things. Mrs. Shen wanted to find a crack in the ground and couldn't reply a word, because she was wrong, and she didn't answer!
Shen Yunpei forced Mrs. Shen to go to Du's house to withdraw the engagement, and he personally went to Wen's house to re-employ and make an appointment.Go back on what you have already regretted.He thought that Wen Yuntang would make things difficult for him, and it should be, after all, it was the Shen family who regretted the marriage first.Unexpectedly, Wen Yuntang didn't say a single sarcasm.What happened before has become the laughing stock of Haizhou City. Who else would want the girl who was sent back before entering the door?The reputation of a lifetime is damaged, and the marriage of a lifetime is over. This is what Wen Yuntang is most worried about. These days, he can't eat or sleep, and this is what worries him.Seeing that the Shen family is willing to marry again, it's too late to be happy, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

When the two talked about their friendship, Wen Yuntang shed an old tear. Wen Qingyun is his most beloved daughter, and she will be entrusted to Mr. Shen in the future.Shen Yunpei nodded solemnly, and settled Wen Yuntang's biggest concern.

This ups and downs made Shen Xiaoru, who should have been happy to be a groom, tired. If Wen Qingyun had always been Wen Qingyun, he would be fine. Who let a Miss Du come out halfway. He liked Miss Du. When he was just engaged, he secretly met with the housekeeper Yang Jingan. I fell in love with it once.Youthful feelings, the beginning of love, is the most heartfelt.Later, when I heard that I had retired, I was still choked up with a breath of depression.After torturing Mrs. Shen a few times, if it wasn't for Shen Yunpei's face turning black and even beating and scolding, he responded aggrievedly, who knows what will happen today?

2,

The Wen family's sedan chair was about to leave, so Wen Qingyun folded up the reluctance in her stomach and stuffed it into a corner so that no one could see it.Wen Yuntang accompanied his daughter all the way out of the boudoir, admonishing her as she walked, when she married into the Shen family, the most important thing was to remember to be filial to her parents-in-law, be patient when things happen, and never act willfully.Wen Qingyun just showed a little hesitation, and wanted to ask what if they were wrong, and she couldn't speak?I saw the unresolved sorrow on my father's face.Ever since mother passed away, father's business was cheated, and the pride and ambition of a lifetime disappeared, this misery has taken root on his face.Every time she saw Wen Yuntang showing such an expression, even if there were 1 people who were unwilling, she would swallow it back.

"Father, I remember. Contentment is always happy, I can endure and be at ease, my daughter understands." Wen Qingyun bit her lip and forced out these words between her teeth.

Wen Yuntang nodded, he still had something to say, but when he looked up, he was already at the door.He stopped, looked at Wen Qingyun eagerly, and turned thousands of words into one sentence, "My child, I have wronged you."

Wen Qingyun almost shed tears, she can't cry, today is her day of great joy, "Father, I'm fine. I'm alright." She was telling the truth, it's good to be married, and if you get married, you can help your father to support the crumbling family, so that younger brothers and sisters can live a good life.Who says it's not a great thing?

Half of the people in Haizhou City guarded the gate of Wen's house early. Haizhou City is not a big city, and everyone is connected with each other. No one can hide their family's affairs from their relatives, friends, and neighbors.They knew about the ups and downs of this marriage, and they wanted to see the excitement with their own eyes. They got up earlier than their own family, and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast.All of them stared at each other, watching Xi Niang help Wen Qingyun into the sedan chair, the crowd exclaimed in amazement, just this one glance, a glimpse, can see the bride's good figure!A few bastards frowned, not knowing when and what month they would have such a blessing, if they really wanted to be able to marry such a slender woman as their daughter-in-law, it would be nothing if they had bad characters!

As the sedan chair moves, so do they. The flow of people is getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.Wen Qingyun was sitting in the sedan chair, holding the Sanguan Mirror in her arms, holding the Sanguan Sutra in her hand, listening to the noisy gongs and drums outside the sedan chair and the gossip that came out between the drums and music—look, this is called blessing , who cultivated in eight lifetimes, married into the Shen family, and lived a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.She lowered her head, her hijab was adorned with pearls, she was old and heavy.This hijab was sent by the Shen family, said to be the handicraft of Rongbaozhai in the capital, and it was only worn by Gege when she was married.So someone outside said, after all, it is an ordinary family, and it is not really gege. Such a great wealth, I don't know if I can bear it or not... She sat calmly, and a word appeared repeatedly in front of her eyes. The word on the lips, life.

She accepts her fate.That year when her mother died, she was only nine years old. Her father was busy with business outside and could not take care of the family. She took the key to the house and took care of it inside and out, which was her own life.Everyone is a good lady, just smile without showing your teeth, say little, and stretch out your hand.She has to take care of Nuo Da's literary residence and take care of her younger siblings.Learn to read accounts from the accountant, cook soup from the kitchen, bargain with the tailor who makes clothes, and learn to live with careful calculation and careful calculation.When I was free at night, I went to my father's study to read secretly.She likes to read books. There are big ups and downs in the book, which drowns out the trivial worries.She introduced the Ranger into the fan, thinking in her heart, if she hadn't given birth to a daughter, it would be good to be a knight.

She accepts her fate, she can't be a knight in this life, she can only be a well-behaved daughter.But she refuses to obey her orders. No matter how tortuous the fateful road is, she still has the ability to grit her teeth and walk like a horse.That's how she came all the way. At that time, everyone knew that she was young, and there was no one in Wen's family. She saw through all the people who came to ask Qiufeng to borrow money, and cheated and swindled.When my father came back next year, he saw that the family was still the same as when his mother was there. He hugged their siblings and cried hard.It was the first time she saw her father cry, and what she thought in her heart was that when she grew up, she would never let him cry again.Father loves her dearly and wants to remarry and help take care of the family.She knelt down for her father, with her younger siblings beside her, not looking at her mother, but at the two younger ones, and she told her father not to bring other women into the house, and not to let the three of them become little cabbages.Dad agreed with red eyes, living alone these years.She knows the misery and panic, and she knows it even if she doesn't say it.

So when she married, it was their business that they regretted the engagement and canceled the engagement, and she also resented and hated it. In the days when the engagement was just annulled, she didn't dare to see people, for fear that people would ask one more word.No matter how difficult it is for a woman who has been divorced to find a husband's family, she even plans to be an old lady for the rest of her life.That's how she comforted her father, at worst she would guard him for the rest of her life!But father didn't want to be like this, father was more sad than her, and he was so angry that he almost killed him.So the Shen family turned around, and for the sake of her father, she also wanted to marry with a smile.She knew that when she entered someone's house, it was best to forget the past, otherwise she would be the one who felt sad and embarrassing.So this bridal sedan chair, this journey, she has to calm down, don't think about anything, just think about one thing, how to be a good wife to the young mistress and the Shen family!

As soon as the sedan chair of Wen's family left, the door of Du Wenjing's house on Liuyuan Street in the north of the city opened, and a pitch-black coffin was placed in the middle of the yard. The coffin was wrapped in a few feet of black cloth, and there were women sobbing endlessly—poor three Miss, I lost my mother when I was a child, and I thought that if I got married, I would live a good life, but who knew that the marriage was broken off again, I couldn't think about it for a while, and I committed suicide!
Du Wenjing stood aside, his face was blue and red.The corpse was found three days ago, he was shocked first and then furious, completely forgetting that he didn't give Miss San a smile this month, accusing and scolding him, as if it was all Miss San's fault that he repented of the marriage and showed shame.Three days ago, when the third lady greeted him in the morning, he even smashed a teacup, "Sangmen star! Don't cry at my place, if you have the ability, find a rope and hang it in front of Shen's house!"

He never wanted to think that his daughter was forced to death by himself, or that he was partly responsible.Now what he thinks is that he can't let his daughter die in vain, and keep the mourning secret for three days, waiting for a suitable time.If the Shen family wants to have a happy event, it depends on whether Du Wenjing nods or not!If you want him to nod, Shen Yunpei will have to spend some money... The Shen family has been dominated by other big families for these years, it is time to change the family.

The second aunt stood on the side with her hands intertwined, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think Shen Yunpei will give in?" For many years, I haven't seen him do anything unsure, what kind of leisure is this?

A young man who was squeezed in from the crowd watching the excitement at the gate of Wen's house just now rushed in, shouting, "Move, move, the sedan chair is moving!"

Du Wenjing nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen strong men ran out of the yard, lifted the coffin, followed behind him, and walked straight to the main entrance of Shen's house with orderly and heavy steps.

The pitch-black coffin walked on the avenue of peach blossoms and willows, attracting the attention of the other half of the city. Adults and children followed closely, asking if they didn't understand——whose funeral is this?Where is this going?Do not you know?It's Miss Du, the one who promised to Shen Xiaoru, the young master of Shen Yunpei's family, but was later divorced!Where are you going, do you even need to ask?Who was Du Wenjing?In the first few years when he had long-haired hair, rich people went to the countryside to hide. He took his clerks to guard the store, did not sleep for three days and three nights, cut off a finger in front of the long-haired soldiers, and insisted on keeping Fu Xinghang.The leader of the Green Gang, Liu, is his father-in-law, Lao Taishan. He wants money, money, power, and power, so he will let it go?Why don't you stir up some sticks at this time?Let's go, let's all follow and see.People chattered in confusion, followed, someone ran to the front early in the morning to inform the Shen family.

After hearing this, Yang Jing'an didn't dare to be negligent, he threw down the firecrackers in his hand to welcome his relatives, turned around and ran in.At this moment, Shen Yunpei also arrived at the west courtyard, looking at the newly dressed eldest son, he didn't say anything, but his face could not conceal the relief.

"Marrying a wife means becoming an adult. You have to be sensible in the future and be ready to take care of the family. Do you understand?"

Shen Xiaoru stood with red lips and white teeth, no joy or anger could be seen on his face, looking closely at his brows and eyes, he was indeed somewhat similar to Shen Yunpei, but thinner and fairer.

Yang Jing'an coughed lightly at the door, no matter how anxious or chaotic, the rules can't be wrong.

When Shen Yunpei heard this, he turned his head and said, "It's Jing'an, what's the matter? Has the sedan chair arrived?"

Yang Jingan lowered his head and turned back, "Master, it's not a sedan chair, it's Master Du Wenjing who is carrying Miss San's coffin to our house."

The whole room was amazed——Shen Yunpei was stunned, Mrs. Shen's eyes widened, Shen Xiaoru's body swayed, almost fell, but fortunately leaning on the table, he managed to stabilize his heels.

Yang Jing'an still lowered his head, "Master, look at this..."

Shen Yunpei regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "Stop them, no matter what, you can't let them in. If you have anything to do, you have to welcome the sedan chair in first!" After speaking, he got up and walked out, Yang Jingan quickly followed in small steps.

Shen Xiaoru raised his head, looked at Mrs. Shen blankly, just exhausted the strength to hold on, sat on the chair, and murmured, "So she died, how could this happen?"

3,

Wen's sedan chair was still half a mile away from the entrance of Shen's alley, and the brother-in-law Wen Yuzhu, who was riding on the horse, had already seen the alley blocked in front of him.Ding Zheng of the Shen family and the Du family were in an inextricable fight. One wanted to break in and the other refused to let in. There were many Shen families, but those from the Du family were all selected from the Youth Gang. Come prepared, with a guy in hand, it's impossible to tell the winner for a while.

Du Wenjing stood at the back and was the first to hear the gongs and drums of Xiyue.He glanced back and snorted coldly. Du Man, the housekeeper standing beside him, leaned over his head, and Du Wenjing whispered, "Tell the front, work harder. You must grab the front of the sedan chair, you know?" Du Man Nodding, he took a few steps forward and yelled loudly, "Everyone, work harder and avenge our young lady!"

After hearing this, the Du family gathered their strength, they were all brave and ruthless people, how could they show mercy?The servants of the Shen family couldn't stand it anymore and retreated one after another.

Wen Yuzhu stared dumbfounded, bent down and said to Wen Qingyun inside the sedan chair, "Sister, the coffin of Du's family has blocked the road, we can't get through, what should we do?"

Wen Qingyun didn't speak, she didn't know what to say!
As if in response to Wen Yuzhu, just as the words fell, the door of the Shen family opened, and Shen Yunpei strode out.The people watching the excitement finally saw Zhenzhang, and crowded forward, keeping the sedan chair far behind.

Shen Yunpei took a deep breath and asked, "Du Wenjing, what are you doing?"

Du Wenjing walked to the front, calmly, with half of his body facing the Shen family and half facing the people of Haizhou, "Master Shen, my daughter died unjustly, and I'm here today to seek justice for her!" He had just finished speaking, A few howling women brought along fell to the ground and wept away their tears. Lao Gao's tone tore a hole in Xi Le and got into the sedan chair.

Wen Qingyun was taken aback by the voice, covered her head to block her sight, and heard it even more real, shouting grievances blocked the way of the sedan chair, and she might not be able to get married.

Shen Yunpei's face was expressionless, and the fight just now could be dismissed without mentioning it, but the Shen family's face is important, the guests are coming soon, so they can't let people see his Shen family's jokes, his eyes fell steadily on Du Wenjing, and said: "Master Du, what's the matter, let's talk in the study. Please."

Du Wenjing knew what Shen Yunpei was thinking. He was the complete opposite. He was afraid that things might not be a big deal, so he sneered, "No need, let's talk about it here. Does Mr. Shen have any shameful words? What we want is to be open and aboveboard, just right Let everyone be a witness." People started to be confused, looking around and whispering in doubt, Du Wenjing was proud, and looked at Shen Yunpei coldly, "Master Shen, I want to ask, you usually keep saying that the Shen family is based on letters, This repentance and resignation, where is the letter?"

Shen Yunpei was tongue-tied, the incident happened so suddenly that he had no time to react.In a blink of an eye, the carriages and horses of the distinguished guests of Hexi also arrived at the entrance of Shenjia Lane. There were gentlemen from the capital, business partners and colleagues from other places, and the patriarchs of the five local families headed by Wei Yucen in Haizhou. All of them were well-informed. Che clasped his hands together to congratulate him, but was dazed by the battle in front of him. He didn't know whether to move forward or retreat. Finally, he stood firmly outside the crowd, silently as if he had made an appointment, and watched how the play would end.

Shen Yunpei knew that in the current situation, it was useless to rely on him alone to save face. Instead, Du Wenjing thought he was afraid, so he might as well be tougher, maybe he could save the city.

"My Shen family is unreasonable for regretting the marriage, my wife has already gone to the house to apologize."

Du Wenjing's face was gloomy, "That was before. The threshold of your Shen family is high, I can't climb it, it's okay. It's okay to be wronged and useless. I, Du Wenjing, smashed my teeth and swallowed it, it's okay. But now my daughter is dead. That’s right, a well-behaved girl has been hanged to death. Your Shen family can’t pass like this, you’re going to pay for your life!” He lifted up his robe, and walked to the front of the Haizhou prefect Chen Zongyong, who had been hiding behind the crowd, and dared not show his face. Bending down, he took out a complaint from his bosom, and handed it over with both hands, "Master Zhifu, please avenge Xiaomin."

Chen Zongyong, who was forced to be in front of others, was in a dilemma. He stretched out his hand and then retracted it. He didn't dare to accept the pleading paper, and he didn't dare to say no. He gritted his teeth and cursed Du Wenjing. Throw it on his head.If you accept it, you will become enemies with the Shen family. If you don't accept it, the reputation of officials and officials will be established. If it is spread, what future do you want?When he was helpless, he raised his eyes and saw the sedan chair parked not far away, and found a sentence, "Master Du, please allow me to investigate this matter slowly. Right now, let the sedan chair enter the door first, so as not to delay the auspicious time."

This sentence drew all eyes to the other side of the sedan chair, Wen Yuzhu panicked, leaned over to the side of the sedan chair, and asked again, "Sister, what should I do?"

Although Wen Qingyun has managed the house since she was a child and has extraordinary knowledge, she has never seen this kind of battle, so she has no idea for a while.But she knew that if the wedding couldn't be held today, if she was carried back to her mother's house as it was, it would kill her father.

"Lift up and move forward!" With a cold face, she spat out a voice that didn't sound like her own, and said word by word: "I am married to Mingmei, and today is my happy day, according to the rules of Haizhou City , the world is not as big as the bride's sedan chair, ghosts and gods have to make way for me, let's see who dares to stop me!"

What she said was right, this is the custom in Haizhou, the sedan chair is too big, even the governor, when he meets the eight-carried sedan chair, he has to hide aside and let the bride walk in front.Even passing through Miaomenheqiao Cemetery, as long as you put a happy whip, those ghosts and gods can only avoid it.

The trumpeters came to their senses, and the sedan chairs squeezed through the gaps of people with joy, and stopped in front of the coffin.

Du Wenjing waved his hand, and seven or eight strong men in black shirts and black trousers rushed over to surround the sedan chair.Wen Yuzhu has been following beside the sedan chair. The white horse he is riding is timid by nature and has never seen the world. He is frightened by the crowd coming up, jumps up in fright, and throws Wen Yuzhu on the horse's back to the ground. Fortunately, he also follows Look at the bustling third young master of the Shen family, Shen Xiaofang, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, dragging the Wenyu bamboo aside, so as not to be trampled by the horse's hoof.

The crowd was in chaos, screaming in surprise, causing the white horse to spin around indiscriminately, and the flying hooves landed on some unlucky body from time to time, causing a burst of ouches and curses.The bearers and drummers dispersed in all directions, the people in black ran far away, the white horse snorted heavily, kicked back and kicked straight on the roof of the sedan chair.The sedan chair scattered, and the bride inside, wearing a red wedding dress and a pearl red hijab, fell out and fell in front of the coffin.Seeing the red horse, the white horse became more anxious, and its raised front hooves were about to fall. Yang Jingan was terrified, and yelled at the servants, "Why are you still standing there? Stop the horse quickly!" The bolder male family members ran out, and one The one in the lead was followed by someone who stopped the frightened horse with all hands and feet, so as not to cause more trouble.

4,

In the new house in the west courtyard, Shen Xiaoru didn't want to get married anymore, so he took off his well-worn wedding robe and piled it on the ground, like a pool of old paintings that had lost their soul, lifeless.He looked at Mrs. Shen and begged in a low voice, "Mother, listen outside! Which family would be like this? How do you let me have the face to go out?"

Mrs. Shen wanted to cry even more than he did. Isn't it a big joke that someone would die on a happy day?She knew how shameless Shen Yunpei was, this time it was his life.If she regrets the marriage and says not to marry again, what will happen to her, Mrs. Shen dare not even think about it.

Shen Xiaoru stumbled to his feet and walked out, "Mother, I don't want to marry that woman anyway. This is the end of the matter, let's have a good time. If you don't tell me, I'll go tell Dad myself!"

"Come back! Come back!" Mrs. Shen begged bitterly, "Xiaoru, are you trying to force my mother to death? Do you really want my mother to kneel down for you?"

Shen Xiaoru stood at the door, his body stiffened, silent.

Dongmei couldn't bear to see her at the side, and she shed a tear, "Master, don't embarrass Madam. She also feels bad, but the master has already decided, what can you do for Madam?"

Shen Xiaoru took a deep breath, and a strange smile appeared on his cheeks, "Okay, mother, I won't make things difficult for you. I marry, is it okay? But remember, I married this woman for the Shen family, for the Shen family's sake." Married by fame! She is your daughter-in-law, not my wife!"

Seeing Shen Xiaoru walk out of the door, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that the wedding gown was still on the ground, how could she kick the sedan chair door without wearing a wedding gown, how would she pick up the bride? "Dongmei, hurry up and chase the young master back! Don't be in a hurry, let's see what's going on outside... My God, what's going on!"

It was too late when Dongmei was thrown out, Shen Xiaoru rushed out of the door in white casual clothes, the coffin was lying across the door, he stood still, staring blankly, as if seeing the person lying in the coffin, thinking Miss San, who can't speak or laugh at this moment, has returned to hell.He couldn't believe it was real, what happened today was more like a dream to him.He looked at Yang Jing'an who was silent.Yang Jingan nodded and sighed softly.So the last bit of fantasy and unbelief in my heart disappeared, and my face turned pale instantly. I staggered a few steps and walked to the coffin. People were already dumbfounded by the series of changes. In front of the coffin, he knelt straight down.

"Why?" Shen Xiaoru's voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it very clearly, "Why do you seek death? What do you want me to do when you are like this?"

The soft-hearted woman in the crowd shed tears after hearing such heart-pounding tragedy, and Mrs. Shen, who ran after her, couldn't hold back any more and burst into tears.

Wen Qingyun just woke up from the ignorance that fell to the ground, and saw a white ball from under the hijab, but she didn't expect it to be Shen Xiaoru.Hearing Mrs. Shen's heart-piercing voice, "My son, I'm sorry for you..." Only then did I realize that the one kneeling before the coffin was actually her groom.

Before Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she rushed over to help her son up, but was stopped by Shen Yunpei who had regained her thinking and reason.In his opinion, Xiaoru kneels well and wonderfully. This kneeling is enough to silence everyone's right and wrong, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Du Wenjing.Now it depends on how Du Wenjing ends up.He didn't expect Wen Qingyun to refuse, she stood up staggeringly, and pulled up Shen Xiaoru who was on the side by the way——Shen Xiaoru was still immersed in his own sadness, and made a marionette involuntarily.

The calculation in Du Wenjing's heart was indeed disrupted by Shen Xiaoru's kneeling, if he confessed his mistake again, and even gave him a title to recognize a double wife, then he would not be able to act in the next scene.But now, since they want to stand, they have to listen to him.

Wen Qingyun didn't allow him to speak, her voice under the hijab was unhurried and clear, and she didn't want the person who just escaped from the horse at all: "Uncle Du, my niece and daughter salute you. Today is my happy day, please Uncle is perfect."

Du Wenjing was stunned for a moment, looked at the ball of Yin Hong, and said coldly: "My niece, don't say that being an uncle makes things difficult for you. I am just such a daughter, and I expect her to take care of me until the end of my life." Ranking, Du Wenjing is indeed the daughter of such a direct relative, which is also a sad thing to say.

"You are for your daughter, and I am for my father. You have a daughter, and I have only one father. Uncle Du, this is the end of the matter. People cannot be resurrected after death. I don't think you want to see a few more lives taken." Bar?"

Du Wenjing was angered by Wen Qingyun's words, regardless of the seriousness, he said: "My daughter is dead, I don't care how many people are buried with her!"

This remark angered everyone, no matter how good Shen Yunpei was, he couldn't hold back at this moment, and said angrily, "Boss Du, don't bully people too much!"

Some of the onlookers were bold and not strict, and they also buzzed, "What's the matter with the bride? They have already given you enough face. Killing people is nothing more than nodding. Don't do things too badly."

"What murder? Obviously I can't see it..."

"That's right, what's the reason for being aggressive when you get to someone's door?"

The script was changed, and June Feixue sang to be besieged on all sides. Du Wenjing found that the situation was out of control, all because of this sudden appearance of Wen Qingyun!

He was facing her, "Okay, good niece, don't say uncle is unreasonable, I won't stop you from getting married today, but you have to pay me your daughter first."

"If you don't mind, I can be your daughter and do my filial piety for my sister." Wen Qingyun's voice is not loud, soft and soft, but the needle is hidden inside, piercing everyone's eardrum, deafening deaf.

Du Wenjing was really shocked at this moment after having seen a lot of wind and waves all his life.

"Father-in-law, please accept my little daughter's worship." Wen Qingyun really knelt down, straightening her body so that she could complete the rest of the sentence, "Father-in-law please raise your hand and make my daughter perfect."

Wen Yuzhu was pulled and stopped by Shen Xiaofang, and he was still rushing forward, "Sister, why are you doing this, let's go home at worst, why are you doing this?" He couldn't rush over, and turned his head to stare at Shen Yunpei, "Master Shen, My elder sister is going to marry your family to be the eldest mistress, so you should say something..."

Shen Xiaofang was already out of anger, and now he also said, "Father, talk!"

The first time Shen Yunpei was questioned by two teenagers, he was speechless, talking?What should he say now?
Wen Qingyun nodded slightly in the direction of the voice, she knew that Yu Zhu could see it, the pearls on the hijab were jingling, everything was a foregone conclusion.

After knocking his head down, his uncle became a adoptive father, it was a certainty, and there was no turning back.Du Wenjing felt as if he was being held up in mid-air, he watched Xi Niang running back and forth, and listened to the trumpeter playing hard, Dongmei and a few little maids surrounded him, quickly put the wedding gown on Shen Xiaoru's body, Two big red clouds were pushed and hugged from before his eyes to the gate of Shen's house.

The guests also walked in, leaving sighs with regretful or mocking eyes, Wei Yucen deliberately slowed down, stayed behind, and whispered when passing by Du Wenjing, "Boss Du, let's be sad."

"Boss Wei..." Du Wenjing choked up, his grief and indignation mixed with the indignity of the world, and even a man a few feet tall couldn't help but shed a tear.

Wei Yucen nodded understandingly. As the patriarch of the Wei clan, one of the five major families in Haizhou, he kept all the grievances and entanglements of the several major families in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say more on this occasion, so he patted Du Wenjing on the shoulder to show comfort.In Du Wenjing's view, this only consolation is so precious that it can be regarded as an alliance.

"I won't just leave this matter alone, you surnamed Shen, you won't be proud for long!" Du Wenjing gritted his teeth, his voice was not loud, but he was full of air.I don't know who gave it to me, or said it to Wei Yucen.His roar was drowned out by the sudden rise of the drums of joy, which no one could hear but himself.
